Influenza being with us still a few words as to it and an endeavor to prevent contracting it and to manage it if attacked by it is in order. <In all contagious and infectious epidem ics it has been noticed that persons in good physical condition are less liable to attack, hence the importance of doing all that is possible to main tain natural resistance of the body. Should a person be taken ill with in fluenza he should go to bed, cleanse the bowels with salts, oil or some purgative, take sweet spirits of nitre in order to start the skin and kidneys at their work of getting rid of waste products which during any illness are greater than in health. The great prostration, aching of the limbs and muscles in influenza are due to the intensity of the pokon in the system. About the time of the Crimeaun war Miss Florence Nighten|:ale, who is no doubt to be credited as the pioneer trained nurse, called the at tention of the world to the fact that night air, up to that time and even now, considered by many injurioisus, is the only air to be had at night, and therefore not likely to be ; ob jectionable. Thorough ventili^n day and night is necessary in aB ebn- ditions and imperative in anjt illneai. The skin is relatively a large sur face of any body and has o1^% functions that of gettinc>,od of poiktnous elemeate and 'matter developed in tte bo^,^ the importfmee of ke^pinf i% . in heal^ pnd atclcacin.
